Pete Maravich of the women's game. SC covered her with everybody. Didn't make a difference - 41 pts.
OT: Kaitlin Clark
- Thread starter RutgersChow
- Start date
Unreal performance.
They would take away the 3, she would drive it.
They’d take away the drive and she’d dish it to the open teammate.
She scored or assisted on every point in the 4th quarter

Here’s a statistic for you: So far in the tournament, she has 161 pts and 52 assts. In the last 23 years, over a five-game span, she is the only player to have at least 150 points and 50 assists ... and she's done it six times, per ESPN Stats & Info.
I watched 2 minutes of highlights and what I never saw was SC throwing 2 at her and forcing out of her hands. Maybe they tried that but not clear from the highlights!
She is amazing. I watched the game and she is absolutely spectacular. I hope Iowa can win the championship on Sunday over LSU.
First women’s game I’ve seen in about 5 years and stayed with it because of her. Wow!
Off double teams she made great passes. What a player!
They doubled her. Found the open player every time. Best player in college basketball this year. Not even close
She is not just another Iowa player that can shoot as said above she is for us older guys the Pete Maravich of women's basketball just unbelievable she is single handedly willing them to victory!!
The match-up reminded me of a 4th grade rec basketball team. One team had a bunch of big kids who rebound virtually every shot, but couldn’t shoot Other team had a short kid who could shoot lights out.
Totally weird matchup considering especially it was a National semi final. Caitlin though was spectacular and also played even better when the pressure was on.

Your right I just got this Instagram of this 14 year old 6'10" kid playing a game against what looked like 5th graders thats how it was with the 6'7" girl on South Carolina only thing is every time they tried to box her out they called a foul. I didn't look at the final box score but USC probably had 25 offensive rebounds and Caitlin wasn't even guarding her girl although she did make a couple of 3's late in the game
Just checked it was 26 offensive rebounds and 49 to 25 overall yet Iowa still won!!!
SC is brutal. Staley never changed up D while opponent dropped 40 on them
Clark is the best women’s college basketball player I’ve ever seen and I’m a UConn women’s basketball fan

Nope bad coaching no doubles or traps except on ball screens. Bad weak side help
Most exciting player across men’s / women’s CBB in several years
What makes Clark so exciting to watch is her dribbling, passing , deep range shooting and above all else the ability to create and make shots off the dribble.She likes the big stage and her presence allows team mates to make open shots.By far the most valuable player in college basketball this season.
She’s a better shooter than 99.9% of all men’s ncaa players. Probably the best shooter in women’s ncaa history.
For those that don't know, South Carolina was also the most dominant team in women's bball this year. They were the defending nat'l champs and were 36-0 coming into the game. Clark was awesome last night.
I'm going to date myself here but the only woman I ever saw in person who she reminds me of is Carol Blazejowski who I always maintained was the best womens player I ever saw .
Seriously. I never watch women’s basketball, but this one was entertaining. She was a savage. Trying step back threes and draining some of them in the defender’s face. Oof. She, along with Paige Bueckers on UConn, is what women’s basketball needs.
Can you imagine a Clark-Bueckers game next March. Wow!
They ran a pick and roll we can only dream of!! But when they do double she ALWAYS finds the open girl she just has great court vision
Her 3 point shooting is well documented but I had no idea how fast she is. The quickest first step in WCB. Impressive and fun to watch her play!
She was so impressive I actually put up with ESPN and watched the whole game - So happy that the B1G dropped that garbage woke network. Horrible

She's why you tuned in. The womens' basketball marketers need to run with posts like yours
Watching her play is a joy.
WBB has progressed enough to be worth watching as the talent level has become far better over the years and Caitlin is proof of that.
Also the physical play has become more of a factor without being overly aggressive.
Many knock Stanly's SC team for the way it plays, but I feel that teams style makes WBB watching better as long as the players don't push and shove others out of the way in a way that can cause injuries.
Towards the end of Iowa's win over SC I feel the refs blew an overly physical play that should have been a foul by a SC player trying to strip the ball from an Iowa player, but the reff only called it a jump ball and didn't do nothing about the Iowa player being tossed to the ground by the SC player attempting to take the ball away.
But all in all I thought the game was well plated by both teams and the refs did a good job.

Staley went on a rant post game. Said people in the media covering her sport are calling her players bar fighters, thugs, monkeys, and street fighters. Quite an accusation. Must be nice to be able to make accusations like that and not have to back them up with any kind of follow up or examples.
I didn't watch the game but I just watched the highlights. Now I understand. I didn't realize one team is all white and one team is all black. This country gets so emotional when race is involved. People need to chill out. It just people playing basketball.
Funny how that's a point of emphasis in many successful programs.
I don’t care for Staley personally. Something about her rubs me the wrong way
I thought the nonsense she pulled with cancelling the game at BYU was BS given the apparent fabrication etc
